[molten verge]

No

[wild granite]

?

[wild granite]

Will I lose my current progress?

[molten verge]

no

[wild granite]

So if I install it on HDD I can continue where I left off

[molten verge]

yes u can

[wild granite]

thank you

you should not go from an ssd to an hdd. ssd is way faster in terms of read/write speed!

HDD is not advised for gaming.

[bitter void]

I can vouch for this

I normally get massive lag spikes when i start and i think thats due to dl2 being on a hdd

[molten verge]

And now the question was not whether ssd or hdd is better, but whether he loses progress. and probably there is a reason why he will have the game on hdd.

[wild granite]

yes it's true

[wild granite]

So guys, what do you recommend?

[wild granite]

So guys, what do you recommend?

[fallen hamlet]

why do you want to switch from SSD in the first place?

[wild granite]

Because there is no space on the SSD and now I have to buy a new 1tb HDD because I don't have money to buy an SSD 😄

[bright yoke]

stay on an ssd

[wild granite]

Dude there is no space and I have to upload new stuff? And since Dying Light 2 is 110 GB, I will free up space on the SSD and download games that need more speed. Dying Light 2 does not require speed, it just increases the startup time and has no other effect.

[bright yoke]

buy another SSD, HDD is good for storage of data. For games it is not good anymore.

[wild granite]

So, what do you think about Sata SSD?

[bright yoke]

yes sata ssd is fine

Well you already got answer but I probably will explain why
The game's config has the save folder location stored, it's either in appdata steam location or by the id name of the folder, as long as the config has that location changed where it cannot find it, then you will lose progress, or even if that location gets moved or removed
basically you will lose progress if it won't read the files anywhere

[wild granite]

I understand

Now I won't lose my progress, right?

[glad condor]

quick thing
You know you can transfer game by steam feature right?

[glad condor]

yeah

especially if you do it by steam

[wild granite]

I'm playing Epic Games

[glad condor]

oh

then epic should have that feature

especially if you do it by provider app, you won't lose progress

I am sure

[wild granite]

ok man thank you👍

[bitter void]

Probably cause he had space on his hdd

[bitter void]

Im sure epic has that feature

[glad condor]

Yeah I remember it as well
